Country star Willie Nelson has joined the Animal Welfare Institute’s efforts to save the last of America’s wild horses. Nelson, who has 68 horses, says in a letter: “I got involved eight years ago when AWI first made me aware that American horses are being slaughtered and shipped overseas for human consumption.” He’s urging fans to help, adding: “There are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild. Something is wrong with that, so we must act now before the Bureau of Land Management has managed these magnificent animals into extinction.”
